What form is used for inventory of drugs surrendered for disposal?

1. DEA Form 222

2. DEA Form 41

3. DEA Form 106

4. DEA Form 515

The correct answer is: DEA Form 41

The correct form for inventory of drugs surrendered for disposal is DEA Form 41. This form is specifically designated for the transfer or disposal of controlled substances that are no longer needed, such as expired medications or those deemed unsafe for use. When a pharmacy or healthcare facility needs to dispose of controlled substances, completing DEA Form 41 ensures proper documentation of the surrender and disposal process. This is important for maintaining accurate records and complying with federal regulations regarding controlled substances. It serves to track the drugs that are discarded and helps to ensure that the disposal process is conducted legally and safely, preventing any potential environmental issues or misuse of the medications. Other forms listed are for different purposes: DEA Form 222 is used for ordering and transferring Schedule I and II controlled substances, DEA Form 106 is used to report theft or loss of controlled substances, and DEA Form 515 does not pertain to controlled substances in the manner that Form 41 does.
